That's where her dream of one day coming to the United States and becoming a nurse were solidified. This summer the Corcoran High School graduate and Onondaga Community College student is taking a significant step in that direction by participating in a summer research internship opportunity at SUNY Binghamton as part of the "Bridges To Baccalaureate" program. Her research focus is the ranavirus, a double stranded DNA virus that can cause severe infections in amphibians and reptiles. "When I was in Africa and would visit the hospital I was fascinated by the work doctors and nurses were doing. I'm working now so I can one day save people's lives. I can only achieve that by working hard." Mukeshimana is one of 18 OCC students doing research this summer. The internships were coordinated through the College's Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program (LSAMP), Education")
